The NPM-WX  represents the  next  generation  of  Panasonic’s  mounting  production  concept “Smart manufacturing”. The platform represents higher  line  throughput  and  improved  quality  at  lower cost  thanks  to  integrated  automated  systems.  APC  system  and  automatic  recovery  are  integrated  to provide autonomous line control.  The  incorporated  floor-management system and  remote-operation option  improve  utilisation  combined  with  lower  labour  costs.  Feeder  set-up  and  component supply  navigation  systems  are available, helping  to  reduce  the  work  variations.

The  NPM-WX  can  handle  a  wide variety  of  components, from  0402  chip  components  up  to  large  components with  a max. size  of 150x25x40 mm.  Parts can be supplied from  tape,  stick or tray-feeder . Feeder-cart  flexibility can be provided by selecting the existing 30-input feeder cart or inserting two 17-input feeder carts. 4 different types of placement heads are available. Max. placement speed is 86,000 cph with a placement accuracy of +/-25 μm. Thanks  to  NPM-WX’s  integrated  systems,  component  diversity  and  available  options,  it  represents  the perfect solution for automated SMT production for all kinds of product.

The machine is fully compatible with  other  NPM-systems  and can  therefore  also be fully integrated into  existing  production  lines. Connection  and  control  via  Panasonics  iLNB  is  ensured  to provide full  control  of  production  and  required management data.

This platform is also available as a single-beam solution:

  • NPM-WXS single beam allows various operations ranging, from NPM-series backup to multiple connection configuration.
